Web Services Published by NAV

There are a few simple types of Web services that can be published by Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The types of Web services correspond to the degree of complexity required in the Web service interface. All Web services can run C/AL code and validation triggers.

• The simplest Web service types are developed using the page object. Microsoft Dynamics NAV constructs a default Web service with a fixed set of methods.
• Another Web service type involves including codeunits and the functions from those codeunits in the Web service.
• The last type of Web service includes the ability to pass complex data types by using an XMLport object as a parameter in a codeunit function.

To publish any type of Dynamics NAV Web service (page or codeunit), you add it to the Web Service table.
